In this work, we propose how to load and manipulate chiral states in a Josephson junction ring in the so called transmon regime. We characterise these states by their symmetry properties under time reversal and parity transformations. We describe an explicit protocol to load and detect the states within a realistic set of circuit parameters and show simulations that reveal the chiral nature. Finally, we explore the utility of these states in quantum technological nonreciprocal devices.
